I get it, my key questions are:RetroSicotte wrote:Again, you're assuming Scottish independence is about logic and facts.
It's not. It NEVER was.
It's about nationalism and grabbing power for the SNP, literally nothing else, because there is nothing to gain. They'll say "Go Indy and we'll be back in the EU!" just like they did last time. The EU President even said "That's basically impossible" and it didn't matter a damn jot, they still got 45% and a majority parliment out of people saying WE'LL STILL BE IN THE EU.
Facts.
Don't.
Matter.
To.
Nats.
I'll never stop repeating that until everyone finally realises it.
Will Westminster allow them another Indyref? There's a pretty solid argument that they voted in 2014 for better or worse, knowing that this might have been on the cards.
Would the SNP actually win a second Indyref? this time under the clear and unambiguous position that even if they could get into the EU they would be accepting the Euro, potentially erecting trade barriers to 80% of their exports, potentially creating a hard border between Scotland and England. With the oil price in the toilet and their public finances way outside the allowed EU accession requirements, do you not think that the 55% who voted to remain in the UK (and obviously have their heads screwed on straight) would look at that and say "no thanks"?
